1. The figures for 'road', 'rail', 'coastwise shipping' and 'inland waterways' relate to freight lifted in Scotland; for 'pipeline' it is the estimated tonne-kilometres for crude oil carried by on-shore pipelines which are over 50km in length. This table does not show the tonne-kilometres for "one port" traffic to / from oil rigs and the sea bed or for "coastal shipping" (as defined in part [a] of this table).
2. The figures are all for calendar years except for the figures for "rail", which are for the financial years which start in the specified calendar years
